Welcome to Passive Family Income (PFI) and the weekly updates. What a crazy few days it has been in the financial markets with - MER, LEH, and now AIG. It should be a very interesting few weeks/months to see how this all plays out.
Weekly Updates
I continued to spend time on one of my new passive income streams, which is writing articles on eHow. My current goal is to write 2 new articles per week (time permitting) so that I have 10 articles posted by the end of September. I now have the following 4 articles posted there –
How to sell Covered Call Options
How to save money on your grocery bill
How to secure a loan from Prosper
How to properly store wine
In other news, Compounding-Dividends is running a contest to help build back links and traffic to the site. I look forward to seeing the results of this contest to see how well it works. I am always looking for new avenues to increase my traffic to PFI.
I have started to favor a different vendor in one of my other income streams that I frequently write about on PFI. The content and availability of recent articles for SocialSpark and PayPerPost have been disappointing in recent weeks. In fact, I have not written any articles from these two vendors (I like the sound of vendors) since late August. Instead, I have found that LinkWorth has available articles that have more in common with PFI than the other two sites do. While writing these posts are not really very passive, they give me the ability to generate some extra income while I am building my site. In addition, they provide me with ideas to write on when I don’t have any topics in the pipeline.
Articles I liked this week
Here are some of the articles I enjoyed reading over the past week -
1 - Living Off Dividends posts his passive income updates for August. I must say that I find a lot of inspiration in reading these monthly posts on his passive income status.
2 - Pinyo at Moolanomy provides some tips on visualizing your income potential when developing alternative income streams.
3 - Online Dividends provides an update on passive income generated from a combination of 4 different blogs.
Have an excellent week!

Passive Family Income,
Thanks for the link. I have never been a big fan of pay per post services since you can’t make more $$$ after you write the initial article. If you blog however and you have a good article about something that is indexed in google, you might earn money on it forever. There are several blogs that I recently stumbled upon which hadn’t been updated for months.. And yet residual google traffic keeps going there, 100 visitors/day at a time..
